The Insiders: Benefit auction to include dessert extravaganza

If you’re looking to find that perfect holiday gift, but also want the thrill of outbidding others who want it just as bad, then make your way over to the Concord Christian Academy’s annual benefit auction tonight at the National Guard Armory on 1 Minuteman Way.

There will be a silent auction beginning at 6 p.m. and a live auction following at 7:30 p.m. And the way it was described to us, there will be a free dessert extravaganza. Sounds delicious, don’t you think?

More than 200 donated items will be up for auction with the proceeds going to CCA. Admission is free, as is registration for the auctions. Did we also mention the desserts are free? Because if we didn’t, the word on the street is that the only way to give those treats the proper props is to label them scrumptious.

The items up for auction include gift baskets, toys and household items, gift certificates to local restaurants, theater tickets and outdoor entertainment. There should be something for everyone on your shopping list. And if not, you can still enjoy some free desserts.
